Anyone have anything that helped them with severe cracked nipples ? I’ve been using lanolin . I troed coconut oil. I know my sons latch isn’t correct . I’ve tried every position . Everything and I cang get him to get a deep latch. But I’m in so much pain. Please help
I didnt know they made a cream for that! Thank you!
@briannalynn547 you're welcome. I hope you get the chance to try it, and I hope it works for you
Coconut oil was the only thing that helped my nips. Also heard soaking them in salt water helps them heal faster.
Have you had him checked for ties or anything that would prevent him from taking a deep latch?
@briannalynn547, that’s good then at least. Hopefully time and practice will help. And healing for you too!
Polysporin complete.. wipe it off your nipples with a baby wipe before feeding baby
@briannalynn547, your welcome it helps with the pain and the healing a lactation consultant recommended it to me over 13 years ago when I had my first and I’ve successfully breastfed all 4 of my babies and used it everytime! Even when baby is latched correctly your nipples will still hurt until they heal hang in there!
Have you had him evaluated for a tongue tie? Is that what they’re called?
Our local hospital has lactation consultants. You should see if you have that at your hospital. They will watch and help!
I’ve met with her a few times and called her a hand full of times back and forth and she hasn’t been much help. Just keeps telling me the same things and it’s not working for my situation
@briannalynn547, ah, darn! That stinks! They were very helpful to me and kept me going!
@justgotaname, ugh I know she seems like the sweetest lady but her tips are not very helpful lol
I’ve been trying but they’re so frustrating to keep on for both of us and he gets super frustrated. I’m able to use it like 50% of the time
The one thing I wanted to be able to do with and for my daughter, I can’t seem to do without the help of a LC... I can’t seem to get her to latch like they do and all my family is telling me to do is switch to formula.. I can’t help but cry at the thought of all of this...

Whaaaaat is this 🤭 do I click get help?
Guys i need help. I know this is TMI but I’ve been so constipated to the point I feel full all the time. How can i get some relief I’m hungry and can barely eat
I broke down at my moms house today ... because of the debt we owe and Passover is coming and it’s a very expensive holiday ... it was just way too much .... my mom i guess told my brother that I’m suffering and he called me over and asked me why i didn’t just ask for help, and offered to help when i need it . And gave me basically 4K to help for the month and if i need more to ask ... now one thing about me , is that i will suffer silently and won’t ask for help.... I’ve always been that way. ...
MOMMAS! I need your help!
Most of you know I do “bow boxes” I need a theme for November that’s NOT thanksgiving. I’ve already done a thanksgiving. I was thinking a rustic box but I’m not sure.
I’ve done a fall box, a holiday box, a Disney Box.
The one who gets picked I’ll send you a box for free!
I've used palmer's cocoa butter nursing cream, or nursing butter, can't remember exactly what it's called. It worked so good for me
